Chapter 357: Yellow Sand Mechanism
[Holy crap...this mechanism is really too insidious, isn't it?]
[It's so shocking]
Qin An's livestream was incredibly bizarre, didn't you know? It shocked me as much as eating meat floss sticks for two and a half years! I finally realized the word "floss" was pasted on.
[Right, right, right! No... What did you say you ate above?]
[Luckily, we have Brother Qin An! Otherwise, the archaeological team would have been wiped out at this first stage! Who could have imagined that these stone horses' target was actually the palace?]
[Indeed! If I were there... I would probably choose to hide in the palace too! After all, people like the feeling of being wrapped up! Just like hiding under a blanket when a ghost comes.]
【Laoan is invincible in the world! 】
............
In the underground palace.
Liu Guoqing was in tears!
Both these palaces and stone horses have great research value!
But now it's all turned into ruins!
What a stupid question!
Hawkeye wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This mechanism is really hard to guard against... Brother Qin An, how did you know that these stallions were targeting the palace and not the mares?"
Hear the words.
Qin An shook his head.
"I didn't realize these stone horses were targeting the palace... but if I were the craftsman setting up the mausoleum's mechanisms, I'd have these stallions destroy every building in the underground palace! Including the mares beneath our crotches!"
Everyone in the archaeological team: “..........”
After all this time, you are the living devil, right?
Hu Jizhou also nodded and said:
"Brother Qin An, what you said makes perfect sense! Why don't these stallions also send our mares flying? If some tomb robbers are lucky enough to hide on the mare's back, wouldn't they be able to escape?"
Hear the words.
Everyone also thought it made sense.
Why do we have to leave a way for tomb robbers to survive?
Qin An didn't think about this problem for long.
He jumped off his horse!
Seeing this, the others also jumped off their horses.
No matter what... they passed this level!
Qin An lowered his head and thought.
He led the archaeological team to the place where the stone horse first appeared - under the stone wall.
pat-
A drop of rain fell on Qin An's face.
Subsequently.
Snap, snap, snap—
It seemed like God was celebrating the archaeological team’s escape!
It suddenly started to rain heavily, the raindrops were as big as soybeans!
"go!"
Qin An led the archaeological team into the stone wall to shelter from the rain.
The heavy rain didn't last long.
It only lasted about seven or eight minutes before stopping.
The large black clouds in the sky dissipated.
The weather became sunny again.
After taking a final look back at the sky, Qin An turned on the military flashlight on his forehead and walked in with the archaeological team.
If nothing unexpected happens.
These people will not see the sun for several days.
in the dark.
More than a dozen military flashlights lit up!
The originally closed and dark space became extremely bright... The space under the stone wall was extremely spacious, after all, it once housed densely packed stone horses.
"Brother Qin An... why do I feel like there's something wrong with the space down there? It's like a funnel!" Zhang Dekai was almost out of breath as he walked.
This was not his illusion!
Because when the archaeological team first came in... the height of this space was a full 5 meters.
But the further you go in!
The lower the height!
Until now there are only two meters left!
Qin An didn't know where the road to the tomb was. "Let's go a little further! There might be a trap up ahead!"
So the archaeological team had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.
"Bull demon! This is too much!"
Gu Yang was so angry that he cursed!
In the end, the height of this thing was only 1.7 meters!
Tall people like them could only move forward by half-squatting.
Hu Jizhou said in a muffled voice, "Just bear with it a little longer."
a long time.
The height finally became two meters again.
at the same time.
A stone door appeared in front of the archaeological team. Next to the stone door was a mechanism similar to a rudder, and several large circles of iron chains were tied to the central axis of the rudder.
The archaeological team members who usually shrink back when seeing the mechanism are now in high spirits!
Finally, there's something new!
If there is nothing ahead.
Their spirits are really about to collapse!
Hu Jizhou walked forward, looked at the stone gate, and fiddled with the rudder. He came to the conclusion:
This thing is an ancient elevator!
People who need to go up or down stand on the platform behind this stone door. The platform is tied with iron chains on all sides, and the other end of the iron chain is placed on the central axis of this rudder.
Finally, let the horse move forward and pull the rudder to turn!
Thereby realizing the raising or lowering of the elevator!
But now there are three problems facing the archaeological team:
1. Is this elevator still usable after all these years?
2. Is there any mechanism inside this elevator?
3.Where does this elevator lead to?
No one could make up their minds.
Qin An saw a crack between the two stone doors, so he put his fingers into it without saying anything.
Then he exerted force to move the two stone doors to the left and right!
giggle-
After a while.
A stone slab about 10 centimeters thick appeared in front of everyone.
The structure behind the stone gate is almost the same as an elevator.
It was just as Hu Jizhou said: there was a hole in the four corners of the stone slab, and the iron chain passed through these four holes.
Qin An pondered for a moment and said:
"This Subi Tomb is full of mysteries... I don't even know which direction the main tomb chamber is! I can only try to see if this thing works! Let's see if there's any danger first!"
Qin An took Gu Yang's backpack and threw it on the stone slab.
Snapped--
A cloud of dust rose.
The rusty iron chains and stone slabs did not fall.
Subsequently.
Qin An walked to the rudder and exerted force to make it turn clockwise.
giggle-
The rusty iron chains made a harsh sound.
Then the stone slab began to move slowly downwards.
Just when everyone thought there was no danger...
suddenly!
There was a snap from the ceiling above the "elevator"!
I saw a large amount of sand and stones falling down as if they had been accumulated for a long time!
bang——
A lot of sand and gravel pressed on the stone slab!
"Ku ...
First, the rusty iron chain broke in half!
Then the stone slab, which was only 10 centimeters thick, could not bear the weight of the sand and gravel and fell to the ground with a loud bang!
Rumbling--
A full three seconds later!
The archaeological team heard the sound of sand and stones falling to the ground along with the stone slabs!
Gollum—
Everyone in the archaeological team swallowed their saliva.
Fortunately, they had tested the situation beforehand! Otherwise, they would have been the ones to fall to the ground and be smashed to pieces!
"so close!"
Gu Yang patted his chest.
Then he stuck his head out and tried to look down the "elevator".
Look how high they are from the ground!
however!
Qin An grabbed the clothes on the back of his neck and pulled him back with all his might!
Whoosh whoosh—
An iron knife fell from above his head, almost brushing Gu Yang's hair!
